Overview

This node interacts with the Mindz API to manage course teachers. Specifically, the Delete operation under the Course Teacher resource allows users to remove a teacher from a specified course. This is useful in scenarios where a teacher is no longer assigned to a course and needs to be unlinked or removed from the system.

Practical examples include:

  • Removing a teacher who has left an institution from all their assigned courses.
  • Cleaning up course-teacher assignments when restructuring courses or teaching staff.
  • Automating the removal of teachers from courses based on external triggers or workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Course ID The unique identifier of the course from which the teacher will be deleted.
Teacher ID The unique identifier of the teacher to be removed from the specified course.

Output

The output JSON typically contains confirmation details about the deletion operation. It may include fields such as success status, IDs of the affected course and teacher, or any messages returned by the Mindz API confirming the removal.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would generally represent files or attachments related to the operation, but for this delete operation, the output is expected to be purely JSON-based confirmation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Mindz API.
  • Needs an API authentication token or OAuth2 credential configured within n8n to authorize requests.
  • Proper permissions on the Mindz account to delete course-teacher associations.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing Course ID or Teacher ID parameters will cause the operation to fail.
    • Insufficient permissions or expired API credentials can result in authorization errors.
    • Attempting to delete a teacher not assigned to the specified course may return an error or no-op response.

  • Error Messages:

    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API credentials are correctly set and valid.
    • "Course or Teacher not found": Verify that the provided IDs exist and are correct.
    • "Cannot delete teacher from course": May indicate the teacher is not assigned to the course; confirm assignment before deletion.

Resolving these usually involves verifying input parameters, refreshing credentials, and ensuring the user has appropriate access rights.
